When asked why, Hall shared that when he began bodybuilding during his early teenage years, he constantly heard bodybuilders having their magic formula. They believed that it would make them stronger. Hall discovered his magic formula at 17. He came across a study performed on 100 people who trained for 12 weeks. They were divided into two groups of 50. One group drank water while working out, and the other half drank cranberry juice.
